Greetings from Colorado

[MWilliams259]

My chicken babies are 9 weeks old, still trying to get out of the rain/hail through the coop door and I’m hoping I have more hens than roosters. None are crowing just yet...

Hello and welcome!
With the original members of the current flock I have (not counting any recent babies that I purchased or hatched), I had just one out of nineteen turn out to be roosters. I wish you the same luck!

From a fellow Colorado chicken keeper.

Where abouts in Colorado are you? I am just south of Fort Collins myself.

What breeds did you get?

Any pictures? Many folks on here can help id males at the age your babies are.
